No mention of the influenza epidemic?
That alone would mark 1919 as a very bad year.

Don’t forget the flu pandemic that continued through to 1920.

1919 was the worse year in US history? I'd say any year between 1861 and 1865 was worse.

1913...when Wilson sold us out to the globalists/federal reserve.

1919 also gave us the Versailles Treaty, which guaranteed WWII.

Also the year my father was born.

The first commercial dial telephone installation (Automatic Electric) was 1892, though 1919 was the year Bell began introducing large-scale dial exchanges.
The pop-up toaster was patented in 1919, but didn’t appear on the market until 1921.
There were no “shortwave radios” in 1919, at least as complete off-the-shelf products. At the time, shortwave (above 1500 kHz) was considered useless commercially, so experimenters and hams got free rein to play around with homebuilt equipment on those frequencies. Eventually by the early 20s, the major players discovered the potential of short waves.

2009 was a pretty bad year, too. Just the thought of that America-hating SOB is enough to raise one’s blood pressure.

1919 could be labeled as the year that America’s slow decline started following Wilson shredding the Constitution and an absolutely worthless engagement into WWI. Who could imagine FDR and WWII on the horizon?

From the article:
Apples, 1 pound cost 11 cents; 1 pound of roast beef, 38 cents; 3 pounds of steak, 60 cents; 1 pound of butter, 39 cents; 3 pounds of chicken, 19 cents; bacon, 21 cents; cod, 10 cents; can of salmon, 27 cents; dozen eggs, 61 cents. If you were hot on cabbage, it was 14 cents a pound, and cheese (who knows what kind, and who cares?) was 41 cents.
